I don't scrap/stamp during the week, just too many family things going on with work, the boys and dh. But weekend are pretty lazy lately with the winter weather, so I'll throw in a load of laundry, run upstairs and set me timer for 30 minutes, then blog hop or go to other inspiration sites and work while I can, I'll spend an entire weekend doing this. The boys don't seem to mind and it does give us each a break from the other. Everybody needs down time, this is ours. At the end of Sunday evening, it's laundry folding time (cuz we just throw it all on the sofa until then) and I'll wash my stuff last since most I air dry; put the laundry away for the boys.<br /><br />For inspiration every time, good luck with that. Like I said, I blog hop and go use sites like scrapbook.com and challenge sites.<br /><br />Good Luck!Paula-Scrap Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252656643616514977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6771806426442300153.post-86416821115332697202010-02-07T08:32:08.644-08:002010-02-07T08:32:08.644-08:00I know exactly how you feel!! My best times come ...I know exactly how you feel!! My best times come after a period of blog surfing...not taking any notes or anything, just surfing. I also limit myself to a specific pack of paper and the colors that go with it. Stamp sets can vary at that point, but I try to stick with one or two. The less mess I have out the better I do. Also, I know I create more productively if I play a little every day with really no project in mind. Sometimes a deadline also helps me get moving...like an upcoming workshop.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my blog. It made my day!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />YvonneYvonnehttp://www.stampyourartout.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
